What Is Feminine Energy? A Guide for Modern Women.
You have been doing everything right. Taking care of your skin, going to pilates classes to keep your body sculpted, and wearing dresses and skirts that make you look like a heavenly goddess. But underneath it all, something is not quite right. You feel exhausted. You yearn for softness. For once, you want to relax and let yourself be taken care of instead of having to keep it all together. This isn’t weakness. It’s a call from your feminine energy. It’s a call from the part of you that craves to soften, surrender and be shielded from the stresses of the modern world that modern women are forced to keep up with.
What is Feminine Energy?
What is feminine energy?
It’s a myth that feminine energy only runs through women. It’s a force that exists within all of us. However, it’s natural for women to be more drawn to feminine energy, as it aligns with the inherent nature of who they are at their core. Feminine energy is an intuitive force. It’s a nurturing force. To have access to one’s feminine energy is to be soft, receptive and fluid. Even men have access to this energy. That’s why for a man to operate in his divine masculinity, he needs to be gentle, adaptable and have his heart open. However, women were created to fully revel in this energy. Women are here to naturally embody this feminine energy so men can be inspired to rise up to protect this sweet softness.
Feminine energy is softer. It’s the shakti force that runs through us all, keeping us alive. Shakti represents the dynamic, creative, and active aspect of the divine. Feminine energy is warm and nurturing, the type of energy that comes out when a woman’s maternal energy is activated. Feminine energy is sensual, an essence that opens up when a woman feels equally safe and passionate in her body. Feminine energy is the energy of the ocean, with her vastness, depth and the ability to allow chaos to take over when she is dishonoured. Feminine energy is the fierceness a woman has no choice but to choose when her sacredness is dismissed. Feminine essence is both the goddess of creation and destruction. It’s the energy that knows no bounds, that only listens to those ancient songs of the cosmos.
Feminine energy is the opposite of order. It’s everything that the modern world doesn’t represent. It’s the wildness that the modern world has forgotten. It’s the ability to honour human cycles and an intuitive way of living. Feminine energy is heart-centred. It honours the magic of our existence more than any man-made rule or story.
Feminine Energy vs Masculine Energy.
What is masculine energy?
As the world is starting to appreciate the sacredness of the feminine, the world is also unconsciously rejecting the masculine. This path will only take us towards another extreme. Your masculine energy is precious, too. It’s so needed. Femininity cannot thrive without the masculine. Just like a woman and a man come together to create new life, feminine and masculine forces must be in harmony for us to stay divine.
Masculine energy is structured. It’s the energy you call upon when you need more support in your adventures towards higher timelines. It’s the willpower you cultivate in your solar plexus. It’s the confident, decisive nature that every man and woman needs. Masculine energy is the love for a challenge. It’s the focus on the bigger picture. Masculine energy is what you rely on when you need to stay driven and full of purpose.
A healthy woman rooted in her softness has harmony between her feminine and masculine essences. She can open deeper because of the safety her masculine energy provides for her. She has the luxury of being able to honour her fluidity because she is already grounded in her masculine structure. However, when this masculine essence takes over, that’s when a woman has to leave her feminine haven.
Signs You Are in Your Healthy Feminine Energy.
♡ You Feel Protected and Guided.
To be in your feminine is to be relaxed. It’s when you feel safe in your body and have faith in the uncertain future. To be in your feminine energy is to feel connected to your intuition. It’s to have a deep trust in how you feel about things, regardless of what the modern world believes in. When a woman is connected to her feminine energy, she is connected to her divinity. She moves through life feeling protected and guided by the divine forces. She is one with the ancient magic in her heart. She allows herself to be led by her spirit instead of logic.
♡ You Honour Yourself.
When a woman is in her divine feminine essence, she honours her emotions, her heart, and her body. She allows herself to cry and revel in joy because she believes that her feelings are sacred portals into who she is. Even though her heart is fully open, she is strict about who she gives access to her energy. She loves devotionally, but only after her body feels fully safe with someone, because she honours her energy above all else.
♡ You Are Your Rawest Self.
When a woman is in her healthy feminine essence, she is not ruled by the way others perceive her. She isn’t scared to choose her rawest form over and over again. She isn’t bothered by disappointing someone else’s expectations that do not align with who she is at her core. She is comfortable in her underworld and her ability to set anything that’s not of her highest timeline on fire.
If you are in your healthy feminine energy, you will find yourself with an overflow of sweetness. You will feel abundant and adored. You will find it easy to melt over a beautiful sunset, a baby or the fact that you are intertwined with the forces of the divine.
Signs You Are Disconnected from Feminine Energy.
Journal prompts to find out if you are in your healthy feminine energy.
♡ You Don’t Feel Safe.
When a woman is disconnected from her feminine energy, it’s because she relies heavily on her masculine energy. She becomes overly protective of herself, with danger constantly in mind. She finds that it’s difficult for her to rest, because a body that doesn’t know what safety is usually uninterested in relaxation.
To be disconnected from feminine energy is to be in survival mode. It’s a life where you are constantly stressed. It’s when your body is tense and inflamed from having to focus on survival instead of receiving support and safety. It’s when you feel like you need to keep rushing and competing to get to where you want to be. When a woman is no longer in her feminine energy, she also stops listening to the songs of her heart. She forgets that it’s safe for her to let go and surrender.
♡ Your Mind Is Switched On.
When a woman isn’t one with her feminine energy, she lives in her mind. She analyzes everything about her life, so she can give herself some sense of control. Her mind, which is constantly switched on, gets in the way of her body’s intuitive wisdom. She forgets what it feels like to have space to honour her emotions.
♡ You Find It Difficult To Receive.
If you are no longer connected to your feminine essence, you will find it difficult to receive. You will notice how uneasy it makes you feel to be taken care of. It’s not that you reject softness and ease, it’s just that your body has forgotten that there is a higher way to live. To be disconnected from feminine energy is to forget that a heavenly life is your divine right. It’s to forget that a life of sweetness is closer than you believe.
How To Reconnect With Your Feminine Energy.
How to reconnect with your feminine energy.
♡ First, You Must Trust.
To connect to your feminine energy, you must first acknowledge that this work is real and sacred. The logical mind will come through and tell you to keep strategizing and chasing survival, but you must be willing to trust that if you surrender, you will be taken to somewhere higher by the cosmic forces. There is no connecting to your femininity if you are scared to take a leap of faith. This sacred energy can only be activated in the body of a woman who is willing to put her desire for a softer life above her fear of losing control.
♡ Become Honest With Yourself.
To reconnect to her feminine essence, a woman must first become honest with herself. She must be honest in her yearning for a softer life. She must be honest about how she wants to be taken care of. A woman must come to terms with the fact that she desires to experience the beautiful things in life without having to hustle for them. She must be willing to let old programming go, the type of beliefs that have brainwashed women into thinking that heaven on Earth is only available for a select few, and the rest have to accept the burdens of life and find a way to keep going. She must first accept that she wants a higher life and that it’s possible for her.
♡ Reject Stress and Call In Softness.
Once she has set this intention, she must become aware of her life. She must become aware of what stresses her and what drains her energy. She must become aware of what lights her up and makes her feel relaxed. This is how a woman starts to connect to her feminine energy. She doesn’t have to look at what other women are doing, because her journey is going to be woven around her life and her specific dreams.
A woman desiring to reconnect with her divine feminine essence must one by one release the stressors of her life and invite more relief in. It all starts when she audaciously claims her divine right to experience softer things that life has to offer. Giving herself full days to relax and read her romance books, saying ‘no’ to those who only add to her stress, carving out multiple times throughout the day to come back to her breath, and honouring her body by first tending to her sense of physical safety with nourishing food and more time to sleep are some ways she can start to soften.
♡ Slow Down.
Then, she can move on to deeper layers. She can start to unlearn the hustle programming by pausing before she automatically rushes to fix and control things. She can say a prayer, “I no longer carry this burden, I trust that everything is taken care of for me”, and allow herself to slow down more and more every day. This process of slowing down and finally being able to fully relax is not something that happens overnight. She has to teach her body on a cellular level that it’s safe for her to rest, that it’s safe for her to let go and allow the universal forces to take care of her. For her to make this shift, she has to practice this every day. She has to respond differently, over and over again.
What does your most feminine self look like?
♡ What Does Your Most Feminine Self Look Like?
Another beautiful approach she can take is to sit down and write about the woman she wants to embody. The version of herself that’s deeply connected to her feminine essence. She can write about the way she moves through life, the way she talks, the choices she makes and the way she chooses peace over and over again. “How would my higher self respond?” is a question she can ask herself whenever she feels like she is confused and stressed. An important thing to remember is that a woman’s highest self is not her ‘most perfect’ self. It’s her most authentic self. It’s the version of her that is loyal to her intuition. A woman who is in her feminine energy doesn’t care about appearing acceptable to others if it’s not aligned with the ancient wisdom that runs through her.
♡ Allow Yourself To Be Taken Care of.
If a woman desires to live in her feminine essence, she can also start to strengthen her receptivity. This goes deeper than what the logical mind can see. It’s spiritual, this practice of saying ‘yes’ to external support. The more a woman allows herself to be taken care of, her energy opens up to the cosmic forces that want to take every burden off her. If she rarely receives support, with not many loved ones around her, she can start opening up her energy by appreciating everything in her life that makes it even a little bit easier for her. She can bless her home, the food that nourishes her, and she can even say a prayer, “I am so thankful for these blessings that make my life easier. I am thankful that I am taken care of so tenderly”. The more she takes a step back and allows herself to be looked after, she will notice how easily life rearranges itself to respond to this new energy that’s radiating from her. However, it’s important to remember to always check in with your body and intuition before you say ‘yes’. Don’t accept help if it doesn’t feel genuine and safe. Sometimes the most feminine thing you can do is to say ‘no’ to someone because the energy doesn’t feel pure.
There are more things a woman can do to connect to her feminine essence, but this is a beautiful place to start. This is the foundation. If you would like to learn more, ‘Feminine Essence’ might be just the thing for you.
Final Thoughts: Feminine Energy in a Masculine World.
Divine feminine energy in a masculine world might feel like chaos at first. It can feel uncomfortable when old patterns are broken and new stories are written. However, what’s on the other side is paradise. It’s a life of ease and softness. It’s a life where a woman’s body only knows peace and abundance.
Grounding in your feminine energy in a masculine world can feel challenging at first. It’s sacred work that’s going to question old ways of living. If you focus on prioritizing relaxation and listening to your intuition over the modern way of living, the world will eventually start meeting you halfway. The people around you will start responding to the newfound peace you radiate. They will start being inspired by your softer way of moving through life. A life of ease is inevitable for a woman who takes a leap of faith and starts listening to her heart and body, regardless of what she is told by the external world. A divine existence is promised to a woman who gives herself permission to finally reclaim her personal heaven.
The energy of the divine feminine is the medicine that this hyper-masculine world is craving for. Not just women, but men can feel it too. Even though most are consciously unaware, everyone has been feeling exhausted by the way of this world for some time. Divine feminine energy in a masculine world is a healing balm. It’s a new paradigm. When a woman reclaims her feminine essence, it doesn’t just benefit her. It’s a gift to the whole world.
Re-connecting to your feminine energy is spiritual. It’s a shift that the world has been yearning for. I would love to know where you are in your journey into your divine feminine essence. How has it been so far? I would love to know.
